THE DYNAMICS OF DEVIANT BEHAVIOR - A NATIONAL SURVEY

全国青年调查（NYS）是一项关于美国青少年越轨行为的研究。 代表性国家青年小组（N=1725），年龄为11-17岁， 1977年首次采访。 该小组每年重新访谈四次， 1976年至1981年，1984年再次。 在最后一次面试中 (wave 6）小组中的青年年龄为18-24岁。 此应用程序是一个 纽约证交所的扩展，以进行第七波数据收集 届时，小组成员的年龄将由二十一至二十七岁不等。 总目标 这一最新的数据收集浪潮是记录心理社会 发展变化和行为角色转变发生在 成年早期（即，21-27岁），并检查 这些变化与文化的起源、延续和发展之间的关系 终止个人参与各种形式的越轨行为， 问题行为 拟议的纽约证券交易所延期有三个具体目标： 1)为了检验社会心理学模型的普遍性， 对青少年时期的偏差行为有较好的解释 多年来，通过检查其解释早期此类行为的能力， 2）描述的动态和发展进程， 在整个11-27岁的年龄范围内， 特别关注起始、延续和终止的变化 在成年早期的比率;和3）检查关系 在偏差倾向，偏差行为，和社区的使用之间， 心理健康服务 该理论模型将传统的紧张、社会控制和 社会学习观。 这一解释侧重于内部 控制（例如，个人价值观、信仰、认知规范和道德 承诺）和外部控制（例如，参与和依恋 传统和不正常的人提供社会强化， 为常规行为和异常行为建模）。 问题/Problem 行为检查是：1）暴力的反社会行为，例如，简单的， 严重攻击、性攻击和家庭暴力; 2）非暴力 但是包括盗窃，非法服务（例如， 卖淫、贩毒）扰乱公共秩序，破坏财产的; 3)酒精和非法药物使用，重点是功能失调/问题 相关物质的使用;和4）异常的性活动。

The National Youth Survey (NYS) is a study of deviant behavior in a representative national youth panel (N=1725) which was aged 11-17 when first interviewed in 1977. This panel was reinterviewed annually for four subsequent years (1976-1981) and again in 1984. At the last interview (wave 6) youth in the panel were aged 18-24. This application is for an extension of the NYS for a seventh wave of data collection from the panel in 1987 when the panel members will be aged 21-27. The general objective of this newest data collection wave is to document the psychosocial developmental changes and behavioral role transitions occurring during the early adult years (i.e., the 21-27 age range) and to examine the relationship between these changes and the initiation, continuity and termination of individual's involvement in various forms of deviant or problem behavior. There are three specific objectives of the proposed extension of the NYS: 1) to test the generality of a social psychological model which provided a relatively good explanation for deviant behavior during the adolescent years by examining its power to explain such behavior during the early adult years; 2) to describe the dynamics and developmental progression of deviant/problem behavior patterns over the entire 11-27 age range with a particular focus upon changes in initiation, continuity and termination rates during the early adult years; and 3) to examine the relationship between deviance proneness, deviant behavior, and the use of community mental health services. The theoretical model integrates traditional strain, social control and social learning perspectives. This explanation focuses upon internal controls (e.g., personal values, beliefs, perceived norms, and moral commitments) and external controls (e.g., involvement with and attachment to conventional and deviant others who provide social reinforcements and modeling for conventional and deviant acts). Types of deviant/problem behavior examined are: 1) violent antisocial behaviors e.g, simple and aggravated assault, sexual assault, and domestic violence; 2) non-violent but illegal behaviors which include theft, illegal services (e.g., prostitution and selling drugs) public disorder, and property destruction; 3) alcohol and illicit drug use with a focus upon dysfunctional/problem related substance use; and 4) deviant sexual activity.
